Can't do three monitors in Vista

[alexcomp]

Used to do it in XP pro 32
I have a Creative/ATI 1600 pci express card with two outputs so I can do two monitors OK.

I also have a PCI video card I used to use with an AGP card similar to the above in a previous mobo and had no problems with three monitors.

When I put in the PCI display card it is never recognized and installed. Resource conflict? - don't know.

My mobo is the Asus P5B Deluxe with Core 2 Duo and two GB Corsair DDR2. 4 Raptors in a Raid 0. Three additional storage drives. Creative Audigy 2 ZS

Where should I start to try and figure out how to get three monitors going, (and if you haven't tried it - don't knock it it's very useful)

Don't be greedy. Be happy with two. That's twice the monitors I have.

Just stick with 2. What's the need of having 3 monitors?

Because they're there....

well using so many monitors will start to noticeably lower performance on games...

Haha, the guy has an ATI 1600, I doubt he does much gaming.

ummm soooo?
the x1600 wil run alot of games at medium settings with high fps, alot of gamers have worse cards then that

just because u have a 8800gts 320mb... don't ridicule!!! next the x1600 is on par with a 7600gt (well even the x1650xt doesn't beat teh 7600gt) and that easily plays many games at good settings

well instead of ridiculing the guy and telling him why he shouldn't i'm going to give him a reasonable solution to his problem.
